Event Summary

The National Transportation Safety Board has scheduled a board meeting for May 22, 2018, to consider the Special
Investigation Report based on the investigation of two 2016 school bus crashes.

The Special Investigation Report examines selective issues
in school bus transportation safety discovered during the NTSB’s investigation
of the Nov. 1, 2016, crash involving a Baltimore City school bus and a Maryland
Transit Administration bus, and, the Nov. 21, 2016, crash of a Hamilton County
school bus in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The two crashes injured 37 people and killed 12, including six Woodmore Elementary
School students aboard the Hamilton County school bus.

The NTSB’s Special Investigation Report will detail the
probable cause for each accident, but by combining the investigations of two
crashes with student transportation safety issues, the NTSB is able to focus on
selective issues found in both crashes, which allows the agency to highlight
where recommendations are needed to continue to improve school bus
transportation safety.

The meeting is open to the public and will be held in the
NTSB’s Boardroom and Conference Center, 429 L’Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington. A
link to a live webcast of the meeting will be available shortly before the
start of the meeting at http://ntsb.capitolconnection.org/.​ ​​​

NTSB public events are also streamed live via webcast. Webcasts are archived for a period of three months from the time of the meeting. Webcast archives are generally available by the end of the event day for public Meetings, and by the end of the next day for Technical conferences.
